Food Steamer 30cm
This 30cm food steamer is made from durable stainless steel and sits comfortably over a stovetop, gas cooker, or charcoal stove. Since it runs without electricity, it keeps working through load shedding or wherever power supply is unreliable, which makes it a practical pick for many Kampala households. Steaming keeps nutrients and natural flavor intact far better than boiling does. That difference shows clearly when preparing matooke, fish, or vegetables, where texture and taste matter.
